Not to be a hog but 2 more for me please.

2 here as well.

I bought a new motor for my dead truck. Ordered a few parts and longed to drive mine again.

I'll get up to Ron's place and drain the fluids between now and the rally. It will be good to see the old gal.

Make sure everything is greased up and pumpkins are full of clean lube. Stop often and check temps.

You need something to cover up that grin on your face after all that seat time.

Update for the day. I have paid for the replacement motor. Reckless arrives to the rally on Wednesday with it strapped to a pallet. Complete running takeout motor only missing the turbo. I am looking at a source for a couple of magnetic oil drain plugs. Still need to pickup new belts and...

So from I I hear from you guys if it's not the removable crossmember we are talking about a blue wrench? It's a 1970 model if that helps.

I'd live in that sleeper for 10K, I bet the new ones are 7x that.

Not wanting to hijack but does anyone use a magnetic drain plug?

It might just be the picture but the metal looks very yellow. Where is brass in the engine? Speaking from experience lately, go ahead and buy a new motor. Set it in the garage and if you never need it it was good insurance. After I recover from my recent failure I will be on the lookout for a...

Butch, i'm not parting out anything. You underestimate how many acorns I have/Tracy wants.

Jeepsinker, i just read up on that. Sounds like bubble gum & bailing wire can fix that.

Carrie Anne needs to get Tracy to driver her truck so she will want one. I would not be threatened if my bride had bigger truck.

Ken, No.
